Overcoming implantation challenges with SING IMT
The SING IMT is a second-generation implantable miniature telescope designed to improve visual acuity and quality of life in patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It features a smaller incision and improved surgical techniques compared to its predecessor. The device has shown significant improvements in distance and near visual acuity and is considered safe and effective in short-term studies.

Two Apple cores
Dr. David J. Apple, a renowned ophthalmologist and pathologist, founded the David J. Apple Laboratory for Ophthalmic Devices Research. He trained over 200 students and doctors, known as the "Apple Korps," and made significant contributions to cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. After his death in 2011, his laboratory was transferred to the University of Heidelberg, Germany, where Dr. Gerd U. Auffarth continues his work, now known as the Auffarth-Apple Korps.

Recommending realistic incision sizes!
A recent study analyzed the recommended incision sizes of 13 intraocular lens injector systems in cataract surgery, finding that manufacturers' recommendations often lead to intraoperative incision enlargement, and in some cases, require larger incisions than recommended.
